I'm not so sure it's the blueprint for beating Brady. It's more like the blueprint for beating the Patriots - if the Brady and the OL don't dominate, the whole team struggles. Why? Because the RBs and WRs are not terribly fast or elusive. The defense doesn't pressure the QB. And the entire coverage unit (which includes all DBs and LBs) only has 1 playmaker. So every single game is on the shoulders of Brady and the OL to dominate the opponent.
Giants, Ravens, & Jets, all had the same blueprint in the 3 playoff losses. Hit Tom in the mouth and he starts searching for phantom pass rushers instead of focusing downfield. If the Patriots have the offensive line that wins the NFL Madden award for #1 protectors in the league, hard to see how next years playoffs will be much different.
This is why I am an advocate for spending all the Free Agent dollars and draft picks on building the defense instead of continuing to build the offense as we did in 2007.
